If Roma can't even keep up with the movements of a slowpoke like Shimakaze, how was she supposed to fight the French Le Fantasque and Mogador class contre-torpilleurs?

She wasn't; she was supposed to fight the Dunkerque- and the Richelieu-class battleships. After all, battleships are not built to fight destroyers...
The French destroyers were to be taken care of by the Condottieri-class and the Capitani Romani-class light cruisers (although the latter were something between a light cruiser and a super destroyer... pretty nice ships though...).
And that's why battleships have secondary batteries with multiple rapid firing guns
On Dreadnoughts and Super-Dreadnoughts yes, on WWII era BBs they were primarily anti-air weapons.
